HOW IS A DEGREE STRUCTURED?Applicants who have not previously studied at university would normally enrol in an undergraduate bachelor’s degree or diploma.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTSAdmission to a bachelor’s degree is based on Year 12 academic results (ATAR, IB or equivalent) or on the completion of a recognised pathway program.

From 2020, the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) replaced the Overall Position (OP) as the pathway to tertiary study for Queensland Year 12.

BACHELOR’S DEGREEAn undergraduate award of 24 subjects which is commonly the entry qualification for many professions or further study. Each subject has a value of 10 credit points (cps). Some subjects may only be worth 5cps; others may be worth 20cps if they involve a major industry project or thesis.

Ultimately, the value of subjects successfully completed will need to total 240cps for a standard bachelor’s degree. (Exceptions include Bachelor of Laws and our ^Medical Program.)

PREREQUISITES Some Bond University programs require specific ATAR subjects as a prerequisite. Please refer to program listings.

COMBINED DEGREESBond’s accelerated schedule inspires many students to undertake a combined degree.

Bachelor of Laws combinations are particularly popular, with the Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Laws taking just 3 years and 8 months (11 semesters).

Undergraduate-postgraduate pathways are also in demand. A Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Accounting can be completed in 3 years and 4 months (10 semesters).

This is just one more reason why Bond graduates stand out from the crowd - you could graduate with two degrees in the same time it takes others to complete one.

MAJORS, MINORS AND DOUBLE MAJORSA major is a cluster of six subjects selected from one area of specialisation, a minor is four subjects and a double major is 12 subjects.

FOUNDATION SUBJECTS AND ELECTIVESEach degree will comprise a specified number of compulsory foundation subjects and electives.

In many cases, Bond allows electives to be chosen from any faculty, enabling you to design your degree to suit your individual career ambitions or personal interests.

DIPLOMADiplomas are non-degree offerings which are offered in practical and occupational fields of study.

A diploma can also be completed as a pathway for students who do not meet the academic requirements for direct entry into their chosen bachelor’s degree.

WHAT YOUR ATAR REALLY MEANSThe Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR) is a number between 0 and 99.95 that indicates your position relative to all the other students who finish Year 12 at the same time. It is worked out by a formula that considers your results from every subject, balancing your strong subjects, your weak subjects and core subjects like English that are essential to further study.

ATAR is used by Australian universities as an entry requirement for various courses, not only as an assessment of academic capability, but also as a way to limit student enrolments according to the number of places available. A high entry ATAR may indicate that there is a strong demand for a particular program but may also mean that there is a high academic standard required for that degree.

^Medical Program is comprised of two sequential degrees - Bachelor of Medical Studies and Doctor of Medicine. Applications for Medical Program must be lodged through QTAC.

The most important thing is to choose a study program that matches your interests. Whether you’re passionate about being a doctor, a lawyer, an entrepreneur or a journalist, you will do well in your studies if you choose the right degree for you.

If your ATAR does not meet the entry requirements for your chosen program or if you chose not to get an ATAR, there are alternative pathways to university study through Preparation Programs and Higher Education Diplomas, such as those offered by Bond University College. Please refer to page 54.

I am passionate about innovation in architecture because… Climate events, urbanisation and rapid population growth are making cities harder to live in, and smart and sustainably designed built environments will play a large part in solving these issues.

Through my second-year project and the Transformer program I… Created Nanonest, an architectural system consisting of self-assembling aerial robots that work together to form architectural spaces.

At Bond I’ve been able to… Rigorously pursue ideas and solutions with abundant support and resources, and test those ideas in real world situations.

My best advice is… Take risks and be curious.

My first love is… Arts and the Humanities. I always knew I wanted to study something in this area.

My best advice is… Make sure you persist with new experiences for at least two semesters. New students face a lot of changes, so make sure you give things a genuine try so you can make informed, important decisions.

Outside of university I… Am a learn-to-swim teacher, ocean swimmer, hockey player, and have recently completed a half marathon.

In five years I will have… Graduated, and have spent some time travelling and visiting some of the exchange students I’ve become friends with at Bond. I will also have completed lots of work experience and will be well into my career.

The Bachelor of Arts in a word…

Unique.

I chose to study exercise and sports science because… I wanted to learn more about sport, physiology and exercise and gain a strong foundation before moving into further study.

When I’m not at university you’ll find me… Playing netball or one of the other many social sports on campus.

In five years I will be… Studying my PhD and hopefully travelling to the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics as part of the support staff for the Australian Olympic Team.

My best advice is… The more involved you get, the more Bond gives to you. The Bond experience is unique in that you have the opportunity to participate in bespoke activities which are often tailored just for you. Also, get involved in campus life and make friends! Bondies help Bondies and that community is what makes the university special.

A BONDY ABROADWith the support of Bond, I received the Australian Government’s New Colombo Plan Scholarship and it was one of the most amazing, eye-opening and challenging experiences I’ve had in my life.

Between studying international law in Hong Kong, to interning with an NGO in Nepal, it’s safe to say I’ve made memories that will last me a lifetime.

After travelling to Hong Kong in 2018 to represent Bond at an international mooting competition, I became extremely passionate about international legal practice, particularly in east Asia. In late August 2019, I jumped on my flight with my one-way ticket to begin my study component at the University of Hong Kong.

Something that initially struck me about Hong Kong was how much of a hub for internationalism it truly was. I lived, studied and travelled with students from all walks of life – India, South Korea, Spain, Germany, North America, and of course, a fair few Australians.

I learned from some absolutely amazing lecturers, one of whom was a barrister; the others had studied at Yale, Oxford, Columbia and Georgetown. And when I wasn’t in class I was travelling around Hong Kong in one of its neighbouring countries, catching up with fellow Bondies in Taiwan, Malaysia, China, Philippines and Thailand. I’ll never forget those experiences.

All students selected for entry into the Medical Program will have to complete both the BMedSt and MD to be eligible for registration as a medical practitioner in any state or territory in Australia or New Zealand. Both degrees are awarded at the completion of Year 5.

ADMISSION PATHWAYSADJUSTMENT FACTORS If you are a current Australian Year 12 applicant, or you successfully completed your Australian Year 12 studies no more than two years ago and have not commenced any university studies, you may be eligible for adjustments to help you get into your intended program at Bond University.

HOW DO ADJUSTMENT FACTORS WORK?You will only be considered for adjustments if you do not meet the minimum ATAR / IB or selection rank required for the program. The adjustments will be applied if you meet the criteria for the relevant adjustment factor/s.

If you meet the eligible criteria, Bond University will grant you adjustment points to increase your selection rank. Adjustment can increase your selection rank, and this may get you an offer for your intended program. You must still meet any prerequisites specified for entry into your intended program.

HAVE YOU COMPLETED AN IN-SCHOOL VET QUALIFICATION?If you complete a VET qualification in school and successfully complete Year 12 (with or without an ATAR), Bond will consider your VET qualification for admission. You may be required to demonstrate English language proficiency by passing the English subject with a grade of C or better, or by undertaking an English proficiency test and achieving the required scores for entry.

If you have also attained an ATAR, then Bond University will consider the higher ranked of the two qualifications (ATAR or VET) for admission. Advanced standing (credit) may be provided in a similar undergraduate degree.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM ADJUSTMENT?The maximum adjustment applied to each applicant is five (5) ranks from one or more adjustment factors. Each adjustment factor has a maximum adjustment rank.

Adjustment factors cannot be used for entry into the Bond Medical Program, the Bachelor of Laws program and undergraduate programs with additional requirements such as auditions, interviews, portfolios or questionnaires.

For more info, please visit: bond.edu.au/adjustment-factors.
